Gaining Knowledge and Skills with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is the
third book in the series Living Confidently with Specific Learning
Disabilities (SpLDs). This book lays the foundation for skilling
dyslexic/ SpLD people so that they can be autonomous, confident
people, who can use their full potential with minimal disruption
from the dyslexia/ SpLD. It is a comprehensive manual for helping
dyslexic/ SpLD people, whether the help is given by specialist
teachers, subject teachers, professionals of all kinds, family and
friends, or general public such as shop keepers. There are lists of
the most important ideas for policy-makers and general readers so
that they can support best practice for helping dyslexic/ SpLD
people. The book advocates changes of attitude that will be good
for everyone but which are VITAL for dyslexic/ SpLD people. It is
not proposing expensive solutions, though it does recognise that
there will be times when accommodation is needed for some effects
of dyslexia/ SpLD that an individual cannot work round. The book
recognises that dyslexia/ SpLDs are variable syndromes that need
constant monitoring. Given a range skills and knowledge to draw on,
a dyslexic/ SpLD person needs to be able to select the most
suitable ones for any particular situation. Confidence grows when
dyslexia/ SpLD can be managed well; dyslexic/ SpLD people can then
function at their best. The book is addressed to someone alongside
a dyslexic/ SpLD person, who may also be dyslexic/ SpLD, so the
style of the book is suitable for dyslexic/ SpLD people. It uses a
special layout to emphasise stories, insights, examples, exercises,
tips, key points and summaries.
Organisation and Everyday Life with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is the
second book in the series Living Confidently with Specific Learning
Difficulties (SpLDs). This book is about the wide impacts of
dyslexia/ SpLD on everyday life. All dyslexic/ SpLD people live
with the possibility that their mind will function in a dyslexic/
SpLD way at any moment, regardless of strategies that they have
acquired or developed. Even people with many strategies can
suddenly find themselves struggling with their dyslexia/ SpLD
again. This book is adressed to dyslexic/ spld readers.
Organisation is promoted as a tool to minimise the effets of
dyselxia /spLD. The book covers: * situations that might disrupt
organisation * a systematic approach to organisation * everyday
life, study peripherals and employment. It has many life stories to
help readers recognise the impacts of their own dyslexia/ SpLD.
Dyslexic/ SpLDs have the potential to offer skills and alternative
approaches to tasks. Often, the solutions that they devise for
themselves are very useful to the non-dyslexic/ SpLD people around
them, which can enhance their self-confidence. When organisation
suits the individual with SpLD innate intelligence and potential
can be realised.
Development of Dyslexia and Other SpLDs is the fourth book in the
series Living Confidently with Specific Learning Difficulties
(SpLDs). This book is about the persistence of dyslexia and
specific learning difficulties (SpLD) into adulthood. It pulls
together experiences of many dyslexic/SpLD people. The book is
written with non-linear readers in mind: those who need to move
about a book picking up ideas that are currently relevant to them;
a style that suits many dyslexic/SpLD readers. The book gives a
framework for understanding the wide-ranging experiences of
dyslexic/SpLD adults. With the greater understanding, there should
be better help for: * adults who still have no strategies for
dealing with dyslexic/ SpLD problems * children who have some
skills but not at the level of their overall intelligence * young
children who show the first signs of difficulties * dyslexic/SpLD
children in mainstream schools. A new paradigm is proposed whereby
all teaching programmes utilise each learner's learning strengths -
catering for dyslexic and SpLD adults and children involves vital
teaching and learning approaches that are good practice for all.
